Abdel Aal: Parliamentary Election is Egyptians' Constitutional Right

Speaker of House of Representatives Parliament Dr. Ali Abdel-Aal said on Saturday that the Egyptian parliamentary election represents a constitutional right, affirming that every citizen must exercise his constitutional right.

Abdel Aal’s statements were given after casting his vote on Saturday in the second phase of the parliamentary election.

"Every voter should evaluate the performance of his constituency’s candidates and hold the incumbent MPs responsible for their performance whether through renewing confidence in them for a second term or casts ballot to new MPs,” the speaker added.

Moreover, he pointed out that "The Parliamentary elections are conducted in a democratic atmosphere and enjoy all the elements of impartiality and integrity.”

In the meantime, he praised the precautionary measures and controls taken by the Ministry of Health, such as wearing a mask and providing thermal reagents.

Abdel-Aal noted that the precautionary measures help and encourage every citizen to exercise his constitutional right to cast his/her vote.

The Speaker of Parliament said that the relationship between the second chamber "the Senate" and the House of Representatives is based on cooperation and coordination, indicating that the second chamber is a helpful factor for MPs in drafting legislation and protecting the controls stipulated in the constitution.
